How to win more work on PeoplePerHour

For some freelancers, PeoplePerHour is the main source of income for their business. This doesn’t matter whether they are a writer, website developer or an amazing administrator.

With this amount of pressure, there is a good chance that you will want to maximise the amount of work that you win on PeoplePerHour. But how do you do that?

Because we want our freelancers to make sure that they win the most work possible, we have put together some of the best ways that you can try to promote yourself and win yourself some more work through the PeoplePerHour portal.

Get featured on our blog

Are you a bit of an expert in your industry? Think that you have something worthwhile to say? Why not share your own thoughts on our blog? We welcome guests posts from a variety of freelancers on the site, and if we like what you have to say, then we will feature it on our blog. Not only is this great exposure for you, but it also makes sure that prospective clients know that you are the person to come to.

Have a Freelancer Story Interview

Not only do we like to share blog posts that offer value, but we also like to share blog posts that share a story about the freelancers who have built their business using PeoplePerHour. We call these our Freelancer Story Interviews (here’s a recent one) and they work to showcase how you have got to where you are and what your plans are for the future.

Feature your profile

If you want to make sure that your profile is visible, then PeoplePerHour offers the opportunity for you to feature your profile for a set fee. Doing this increases your chances of securing new leads by as much as 3 times, which could be the boost to your business that you are really looking for.

You will feature on the top of the list of freelancers for your particular skill area, and you will have a featured banner too. You will also feature on the email newsletters that are sent out to the email list, meaning that you can draw more attention to what you offer that way.

Use social media

Social media is incredibly useful to boost a range of businesses, and if you are a freelancer on PeoplePerHour, then why not use our social media to help raise your profile. All you need to do is share a link on our Facebook, Twitter, Google + or any other social media profile, and you will soon see some more interest in what you have to offer!

Be an offer of the day

Offers has become a great way to offer quickly to buy snippets of your time for a particular task. Here at PeoplePerHour we have an opportunity for you to target your focus on one particular offer, rather than across your profile. For a set fee, you will be placed at the top of the search listings, using a special ribbon, these particular featured ads are known to get as many as 10 times more clicks. You will also be featured in the hourlies of the day newsletter which will be sent out to the entire mailing list. If that wasn’t enough, you will also be able to gain access to a number of different images (19 million in fact) which will give you a chance to create a professional and appealing offer.

So, there you have it, all the different ways that PeoplePerHour can help you to be more visible and to gain more work. Now all you need to do is start making sure that you have time to complete all that lovely work that you are going to win.

Hi Cornelius,

When you have finished a particular job for a Buyer and they are satisfied with the work delivered raise your invoice (more info here: http://support.peopleperhour.com/hc/en-us/articles/205218287-Raising-an-invoice) to receive payment, which includes releasing any funds paid into Escrow. Once they have paid for your service, your Buyer will then be able to leave you the all important feedback.

PPH – Please answer the following questions: 1) The blog entry option, I have an idea for a good post relevant for buyers. How many words such a post contains? To which email address should it be sent? 2) About using social media – “All you need to do is share a link on our Facebook, Twitter, Google + or any other social media profile” – What does it mean? Should we post links to our PPH profile or PPH Hourlies? If Facebook for instance, where to share it? Just paste the links on your wall? Please elaborate further on… Read more »

I am amused to see your request for contributions to the PPH blog. I wrote a blog last year for the site which received a great deal of positive comments. I have emailed PPH directly to offer a further blog and have also filled out your submission form but have received no response. Would you welcome another piece? If so, could someone actually get in touch with me.

Thank you for great hints. I will definitely follow your advice. Being a new person in a large pool of artists I think my particular skills as watercolor artist are quite narrow. Each time I search for job offers it seems I see only three that apply to my field. I still think it is a good thing as not many artists can paint in watercolor as I can. And I am surely glad that PPH allows to upload some of previous projects that give our potential clients opportunity to see the quality of the job that I provide. I… Read more »

While the content has merits, it would be good not to see the repeated notice on my dashboard of “How to win more work on PPH”. Sounds like PPH is trying to a Dale Carnegie of ” How To Win Friends and Influence People”?

There re some naive PPH’ers here, who are probably STILL waiting for their first job, put paying again and again for proposal credits.

Bottom line is that the vast majority of jobs don”t get awarded and just expire… without any proposal credits being returned.

PPH have no reason to change their business model. Take out the unawarded jobs and this place would look pretty different…

Don’t use PPH, they are fraud you invest your money here but no talent will done your work unless you loss your money and if you complain to PPH, they also ignore and let your money gone and rest they keep. Bloody rascal PPH and motherfucker as well.

Don’t use here in PPH. It is far better to

use http://www.appfutura.com, there talent are real with real place. Chat, call, meet, close deal and get your work done.

I think PPH’s goodwill will be increased day by day and buyer and seller and the site also be benefited. It’s a great hope for many freelancers. I wish its overall success.
